Tailored support for UK standard visitor visa applications — from document checklists and supporting letters to form completion and Home Office enquiry preparation.

Visitor Routes

Strong, Well-Prepared Visitor Visa Applications

The UK Standard Visitor visa allows individuals to visit the UK for tourism, business, study (short courses), or to visit family and friends for up to six months. Although it may seem straightforward, visitor visa refusals are common — often due to insufficient evidence of ties to the home country, unclear purpose of visit, or inadequate financial documentation.

Green Vision Immigration Services ensures your application is meticulously prepared, with strong supporting documents and a credible supporting letter that clearly addresses the Home Office’s concerns. We understand what Entry Clearance Officers look for and prepare your case accordingly.

Tailored Document Checklists — We provide a customised checklist based on your specific reason for visiting, ensuring nothing is overlooked.
Strong Supporting Letters — We draft credible, detailed supporting letters that clearly explain your visit purpose, itinerary, and ties to your home country.
Sponsor Documentation — If you have a UK-based sponsor, we help them prepare their invitation letter and financial evidence correctly.
Financial Evidence Guidance — We ensure your bank statements, payslips, and other financial documents meet Home Office standards and clearly demonstrate you can fund your visit.
Form Completion & Submission — We complete the application form accurately, ensuring all information is consistent with your supporting documents, and handle the entire submission process.
Enquiry Preparation — We prepare you for potential Home Office enquiries, ensuring you know what to expect if you are contacted for further information or an interview.

Common Refusal Reasons

How We Help You Avoid Refusal

Visitor visas are frequently refused. We identify and address the most common pitfalls before submission to strengthen your application.

Weak Ties to Home Country

We help you demonstrate strong ties — employment, property, family, or ongoing studies — to prove your intention to return after your visit.

Unclear Visit Purpose

We draft detailed itineraries and supporting letters that leave no ambiguity about why you are visiting the UK and what you plan to do.

Insufficient Funds

We ensure your financial evidence clearly shows you can afford the visit without needing to work in the UK, meeting all Home Office requirements.

Visitor Visa FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

A Standard Visitor visa typically allows you to stay in the UK for up to 6 months. You can apply for a long-term visitor visa valid for 2, 5, or 10 years, but you can still only stay for a maximum of 6 months per visit. We will advise on the most appropriate option for your specific circumstances during your consultation.
You cannot work (paid or unpaid) or do business activities that amount to running a business in the UK. However, you can attend meetings, conferences, and trade fairs. You can study for up to 30 days, or undertake a short recreational course of study that is not a full-time course. For full details on what activities are permitted, visit our FAQ page.
Common refusal reasons include: insufficient evidence of ties to your home country, unclear purpose of visit, inadequate financial evidence, discrepancies in application information, and previous immigration history. Our role is to identify and address these issues before submission, giving your application the strongest possible chance of success. We also ensure consistency across your application form, supporting letter, and documents — a common area where applicants make mistakes.
Required documents typically include: a valid passport, a completed application form, a passport-sized photograph, evidence of your finances (bank statements, payslips), details of your accommodation in the UK, a supporting letter explaining your visit, evidence of ties to your home country, and a tuberculosis test certificate if required. The exact documents depend on your reason for visiting. We provide a tailored document checklist specific to your situation so you only prepare what is actually needed.
Home Office fees for a Standard Visitor visa (up to 6 months) are approximately £115 for applications made from outside the UK, and £400 for applications made from inside the UK to switch into the visitor route. Long-term visitor visas (2, 5, or 10 years) cost more. These fees are paid directly to the Home Office and are separate from our advisory fees. We provide a clear fee quote for our services during your consultation.
Standard processing for a visitor visa is typically 3 to 6 weeks. Priority services may be available at additional cost (paid directly to the Home Office), which can reduce processing to around 5 working days. Processing times can vary depending on your nationality and the time of year. We will advise on current processing times during your consultation and help you plan accordingly.
